A Fun Weekend

Last weekend we went to a little place in Utah called Gardner village. It is a gorgeous little place with a bunch of shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Addie had a fun time running around while Aaron followed her with the camera and I tried to keep up. Of course I would get distracted and peruse a boutique here or there.


Addie found a cool new set of wheels



Potty break?







She loved the Big Wheel and didn't want to leave. We had a good time. Definitely a fun place to go visit.

Two and Loving It!

Addie's just had a birthday on the 10th and I cannot believe that she is two years old already, but she had let Aaron and I know she is two and a big girl! She definitely has a mind of her own and she is starting to voice her opinions. It has been fun though to watching her grow from baby to toddler. Addie has a bunch of friends around her age in the neighborhood that she loves to play with, so I decided it would be fun to throw her a "little" pool party the weekend before her birthday to celebrate. While it was fun getting things together for her birthday the closer it got to her party the bigger it became and the bigger of a deal it turned into. From stressing about the weather to getting all the decorations, food, and chairs I was glad Aaron and Addie's Uncle Randy and Aunt Suzie were there to help. The children had fun playing in the pool and sprinkler the first hour, but then the wind picked up and all the children's lips started turning blue so we moved it inside for the cake and presents. Not a total failure as the children seemed to have fun regardless. Although one of Addie's friends was a very determined little girl and wanted to go back out into the pool even though it looked liked it was going to storm. It was cute.

Addie loved the sprinkler, I thought she would be a little scared of it at first but she jumped right in.

We got Addie a crawl tube from Ikea and she loved it!

Daddy and Addie stuck in the tube

Thanks for everyone who came and brought Addie gifts. I was worried about Addie liking all these boy toys because most of her friends that she plays with are boys, but thankfully she got plenty of princess puzzles and rings and dress-up closes! Happy Birthday Addie!
